The final concert of Japanese virtuoso Ryuichi Sakamoto, titled 'Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus,' is being highlighted as a poignant reflection on mortality and legacy, set to open at the Film at Lincoln Center (FLC) on March 29. The concert film has garnered attention for its contemplative nature, even for those unfamiliar with Sakamoto's work, and has been selected as a New York Times Critic's Pick by critic Alissa Wilkinson. The film is part of the New York Film Festival's 61st Main Slate selection and is now playing at FLC, with tickets available for purchase. Director Neo Sora, who is also Sakamoto's son, has been noted for his role in capturing this significant performance. Additionally, the film includes a spotlight on the Yellow Magic Orchestra, a group co-founded by Sakamoto, further enriching the narrative around his influential career. A Q&A session with Director Neo Sora is scheduled to accompany a screening of the film this Saturday at 3:30pm.
